Anxiety is common. Getting support shouldn't be hard.

Talk to a registered psychologist or counsellor from wherever you are in Australia. Online, private, and at your pace.

Understanding Anxiety

Anxiety isn't a character flaw.
It's something a lot of people live with.

Racing thoughts, a tight chest, avoiding things you used to do without thinking. Anxiety shows up differently for everyone. Sometimes it's loud and obvious. Other times it's a quiet hum of unease that makes everything feel harder than it should.

Whatever your experience looks like, you don't have to push through it alone. Our registered psychologists and counsellors create a space where you can make sense of what's happening. No judgement, no pressure, and at a pace that actually works for you.

What We Support

Types of anxiety we can help with.

Generalised Anxiety

Persistent worry that's hard to switch off, even when things seem fine on paper. You might notice a low-level sense of dread that colours your whole day.

Panic Attacks

Sudden, intense waves of fear with physical sensations like a racing heart, shortness of breath, or dizziness. They can feel frightening, but they are manageable with the right support.

Social Anxiety

A strong fear of being judged or embarrassed in social or work situations. It can lead to avoidance that slowly narrows the life you want to live.

Health Anxiety

Recurring worry about illness or physical sensations, often paired with reassurance-seeking or checking behaviours that offer only short-term relief.

Performance Anxiety

Heightened stress around exams, presentations, or high-stakes moments. Some pressure is normal. When it starts to get in the way, it's worth exploring.

Phobias & Avoidance

Specific fears that affect daily decisions or limit your life, from flying and heights to crowds and enclosed spaces. Avoidance often reinforces the fear over time.

Sound Familiar?

Some of this might sound familiar.

You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to reach out. If it's been weighing on you, that's reason enough to have a conversation.

Start Your Journey

You find yourself worrying about things that haven't happened yet, and can't seem to stop
You avoid certain situations, places, or people because of how they make you feel
You notice physical sensations like a racing heart, tight chest, or nausea when you're stressed
You find it hard to relax or switch off, even when nothing is wrong
You often feel like you're bracing for something bad to happen
You've pulled back from plans or opportunities at work because of fear or self-doubt
You replay conversations or decisions in your head long after they're done
Falling asleep is hard because your mind keeps going when the rest of you wants to rest

Our Approach

How we work with anxiety.

We use evidence-based approaches tailored to your experience. Your practitioner builds a plan around what's actually going on for you, not a generic program.

Step 1

Start with your experience

Your practitioner gets to know how anxiety shows up for you specifically. What triggers it, what it feels like in your body, and what you've already tried. No assumptions, no generic scripts.

Step 2

Build tools that work day to day

CBT is a widely researched approach that may assist with identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns. Alongside ACT, these approaches offer practical tools you can use on the train, at your desk, or at 2am.

Step 3

Work with avoidance, at your pace

Gently and gradually, your practitioner may support you to re-engage with situations you've been avoiding. You set the pace. There's no pressure to move faster than feels right.

Step 4

Regulate your nervous system

Breathing, grounding, and regulation techniques can support your ability to feel steadier when things feel uncertain. These are skills you practise together and take with you.

FAQ

Questions we get about anxiety and online support.

Common questions about working with anxiety online. Can't find what you need? Just reach out.

If anxiety is affecting your sleep, work, relationships, or daily decisions, it's worth exploring. You don't need to be in crisis to reach out. If it's been weighing on you, that's reason enough to have a conversation.

Sessions are conversational, not clinical. Your practitioner will work with you to understand your patterns and build practical tools. It's at your pace, on your terms. There's no script and no pressure to cover anything you're not ready for.

Mehema practitioners don't prescribe medication. If medication is something you want to explore, we're happy to work alongside your GP. Some people find psychological support useful on its own; others prefer a combined approach. We support what works for you.

It varies from person to person. Some clients notice a meaningful shift after a handful of sessions. Others find ongoing support more helpful. We check in regularly and adjust as you go. There's no lock-in or minimum commitment.

Telehealth psychology is widely used across Australia. For many people, being in a familiar, comfortable space can actually make it easier to open up. Research supports telehealth as a credible way to access online help for anxiety in Australia, particularly for those in regional areas or with busy schedules.

Your practitioner is experienced in working with anxiety and can support you through it. A session is a safe space to notice and work with whatever comes up. It can be a useful opportunity to practise regulation techniques with someone beside you.

No referral is needed to get started. If you'd like to access Medicare rebates, you'll need a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP. We can guide you through that process if you're not sure where to start.
